Welcome

Hello, WorldCiv2017 chera and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students. Go through our online training for students

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! —SpacemanSpiff 11:27, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Chera dynasty

Hi, I reverted you at Chera dynasty because a source published by an obscure college is unlikely to be reliable. - Sitush (talk) 08:05, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

January 2017

Hello WorldCiv2017 chera, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Chewings72 (talk) 09:44, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Your addition to Chera dynasty has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. —SpacemanSpiff 10:31, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Student assignments

It appears that many of you are here on some sort of student assignment, please have your instructor go through Wikipedia:Education program/Educators.

Also, you and other students should read Wikipedia:Education program/Students as well as the welcome message I'm posting above. You have already been violating our copyright requirements, and should stop that immediately or else your editing privileges may be revoked. —SpacemanSpiff 11:27, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

STOP

You don't seem to be listening to the feedback given to you. Please read and acknowledge the feedback and follow what you've been told. If not, your editing privileges will be revoked soon --i.e. you will be blocked from editing and will not be able to complete your course assignment. —SpacemanSpiff 13:23, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is College project that's introducing copyvios, plagiarism, OR and Non-NPOV content to wide variety of Indian history articles. —SpacemanSpiff 11:12, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi, can you please STOP adding more content until the discussion mentioned above has ended. You're just making things more complicated for everyone. Don't worry about what your teacher may think about your assignment - it really isn't the important issue at the moment and hopefully we can explain things to him when we manage to make contact. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 11:48, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

I will block you

The next time you add any copyvios I will block you. You don't seem to listen to any sort of feedback at all. If that happens, you won't be able to finish your coursework. —SpacemanSpiff 11:50, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
